The US National Committee (USNC) to the International Cartographic Association (ICA) invites American scholars and international scholars at American institutions to submit applications for consideration for travel funding support to attend and participate in the 26th International Cartographic Conference (ICC) in Dresden, Germany, August 25-30, 2013 (http://www.icc2013.org/). The USNC supports a number of U.S. scholars to attend the ICC through a competitive evaluation based on submitted abstracts, a short vita, and career standing (with young scholars given priority). The deadline for applications for these awards is November 1, 2012, the same as the deadline for submission of papers to the Local Organizing Committee in Dresden.
 
For consideration for funding support, simultaneous to submitting your abstract to the Dresden Local Organizing Committee, please submit a copy of the abstract and a short (1 page max) vita or resume as an email attachment to E. Lynn Usery, Chair of the USNC, usery@usgs.gov. Include abstract and vita/resume in a single pdf or Word document. Please name the document “lastname ICC Dresden Abstract.pdf (or .doc or .docx)” where lastname is the lastname of the first author. The USNC will only consider one abstract per author, including co-authorship. Single-authored abstracts by young scholars are given preference.
